India Struck Nur Khan Base, Pakistan Pleaded for US Mediation: Report

In the latest aftermath of Operation Sindoor, it has emerged that Pakistan sought urgent US intervention after India struck Nur Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi with precision missile attacks on May 10.


This aggressive move followed a series of strikes initiated by India after the Pahalgam massacre, targeting Pakistani terror infrastructure.

Despite efforts by Western media to equate India and Pakistan militarily, Indian forces decisively overwhelmed Pakistani defenses, rendering most of its air defense systems destroyed or jammed.

As India was reportedly preparing for a potential naval strike on Karachi Port, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urgently contacted India’s S. Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval to propose a ceasefire on Pakistan’s behalf. At 10:38 a.m., Pakistan’s DGMO Kashif Abdullah called India’s DGMO warning of a possible BrahMos strike.

India remained unfazed. When Rubio conveyed Pakistan’s readiness for de-escalation, Jaishankar made it clear that any such discussions must be conducted through military channels.

Satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies revealed significant structural damage to Nur Khan Air Base. Indian missiles hit critical assets early in the morning of May 10, leaving Pakistan with minimal retaliatory options.

According to the report, India’s decision to halt further military operations came from a strategic viewpoint—the objective of dismantling terror infrastructure had been achieved, and escalation could have allowed Pakistan to play the victim card with China and the West.

India’s missile, drone, and loitering munitions platforms reportedly outperformed Pakistan’s largely Chinese-supplied defense systems. Even as French media attempted to downplay India’s capabilities—ironically undermining their own Rafale aircraft—the Indian Air Force was dominant.

India is expected to bolster its aerial strike capabilities with 31 Predator drones by 2028 and is also developing swarm and high-altitude armed drones, akin to Turkey’s models.

The Indus Waters Treaty suspension, expected next month, will further tighten the screws on Islamabad. Meanwhile, India is re-evaluating threats from not only Pakistan but also China, Turkey, and other backers of terrorism.
